DAVIS LOVE III won the MCI Heritage at Hilton Head Island, South Carolina, on the fourth extra hole of a play-off with Woody Austin. It was his third victory of the season and his fifth in the event.

Both players had finished on 271, 13 under par, after Love had closed with a final round of 67, four under par, and Austin with a 68. The play-off swung one way then the other before Love hit a majestic 166-yard five-iron approach shot on the par-four 18th to within four feet of the flag and holed his birdie putt to win.
